Super Gene Hunting Ground

Yang Xiao retracted his thoughts, stood in the room, and began to practice the Surging Wave Striking Shore Heart Method of the Genetic Transformation Technique. After cultivating for an hour, he practiced the Yijin Scripture again.

Yang Xiao then checked his equipment again.

His armor was already at +10 Defense attribute, which was the current limit.

That Bronze Sword was definitely unusable.

Necklaces, bracelets, and rings were all switched to +6 Agility Attribute.

After acquiring the Burst Soul Skill, Yang Xiao felt that his attack damage was no longer a problem. At this moment, speed was crucial; no matter how powerful you are, you must be able to swiftly strike the opponent for it to be effective.

With a base attribute of 60 points, the Defensive Armor added +10 Defense, and the three pieces of jewelry increased agility by 18 points.

Currently, the Longsword could only increase Strength by 8 points.

Now, in the afternoon and some time away from dinner, Yang Xiao felt bored staying in the room and decided to open the door to get some air.

No sooner had he opened the door than he heard people arguing outside.

”Gu Beifeng, do I need your permission for my people to hunt too? If you don’t lift the restrictions there, don’t blame me if I turn hostile.”

”Hehe, Du Tianxing, isn’t Bright Wolf Grassland enough for your shenanigans? You still want to hunt in Wuji Mountain? Let me tell you bluntly, I’m determined to have Wuji Mountain. If you want to compete for it, weigh your own capabilities first.”

...

Yang Xiao was startled; damn, there were already conflicts between these two? No wonder the atmosphere seemed strange when he saw them in the dining area.

Yang Xiao walked out of his room and saw twenty or thirty people gathered at one end of the corridor around Gu Beifeng and Du Tianxing.

Yang Xiao didn’t approach; he just stood from a distance, listening to their quarrel and gradually understood the general situation.

Xuanming District’s largest Primitive Forest included Wuji Mountain and Changling, where the Mutant Monster resources were most abundant.

After gaining control over the entire Bright Wolf Grassland, Du Tianxing obtained a large amount of Evolution resources. Although he had reached the bottleneck of King Level Evolution himself, many of his subordinates gained favorable Evolution Spaces, resulting in many individuals with Enhanced Gene Advanced.

While Bright Wolf Grassland had many Mutant Monsters, their levels were not very high, prompting Du Tianxing to set his sights on Wuji Mountain. He sent a formidable flying squad to Wuji Mountain, seized a small stronghold, and then transported a hundred-person team over from the grassland and Magic City to hunt on Wuji Mountain.

Unexpectedly, most of the strongholds surrounding Wuji Mountain were already occupied by people dispatched by Gu Beifeng from Wentian City, and the stronghold they attempted to seize was precisely one of Gu Beifeng’s.

Consequently, Gu Beifeng sent people to kill dozens of Du Tianxing’s men and, giving Du Tianxing some respect, didn’t kill them all, just expelled them from Wuji Mountain.

This incident almost caused Gu Beifeng and Du Tianxing to break off relations, but with the current closure of Transmission Arrays between cities and several provinces separating the influence of Magic City and Wentian City, it was impractical for the two to engage in direct conflict. They could only harbor a grudge.

This was one of the reasons Yang Xiao saw both Gu Beifeng and Du Tianxing being quite cold to each other in the dining area.

They continued to argue, while a nearby Iron Tower Warrior merely glanced coldly and didn’t intervene, as arguing was not prohibited unless they started fighting.

”Du Tianxing, don’t act tough in front of me. Others might fear you, but I, Gu Beifeng, certainly don’t. You’ve already annexed two provinces plus the Bright Wolf Grassland, isn’t that enough? You actually dared to reach into my territory; you are the one who broke the rules first, no reason to blame me.”

”Gu Beifeng, since when did Wuji Mountain become your resource point? Everyone knows the richest Evolution resources in Xuanming District are in Wuji Mountain and Changling Region. Didn’t you snatch them from East King yourself? Speak up, East King, isn’t this true?”

A tall, obese man stood aside; he was known as East King, his name Zhao Benling.

Zhao Benling looked somewhat embarrassed and said,

”Brother Gu, Brother Du, both of you calm down. Everything can be discussed peacefully, let’s not ruin the harmony. Indeed, Wuji Mountain has many Mutant Monsters, but their levels are too high, we also dare not venture deep.”

Zhao Benling meant that he could not control Wuji Mountain, and he did not care who contested it, not siding with either party.

Zhao Benling said so, Du Tianxing became even more energized.

”You see, the East King said, this place is open to whoever wants to come, why can Gu Beifeng’s people go and my people can’t?”

”Haha, Du Tianxing, what kind of logic is that? If I send people to the grassland now, would you allow it?”

”You?”

Du Tianxing was suddenly at a loss for words.

Beside them, Qingyun City’s King, Li Jiachen suddenly laughed:

”In my view, the resources in Xuanming Country should be seized by those who are capable. Where’s the rule of first come, first served? If we follow the first come, first served, do those who come later not need to evolve anymore? Might as well just sit at home and wait for death.”

As soon as Li Jiachen made this statement, the people around immediately split into two factions.

Those who already had a lot of resources and wanted to keep things quiet expressed their opposition, while those ambitiously vying for resources immediately showed their approval.

Everyone began to argue vociferously, the scene turning into chaos.

Yang Xiao turned around and walked away, returning to his room.

He had been cultivating Ancient Martial Arts for the past six months, capturing only Shenlongjia and Xiangfan City, unaware that the outside world had undergone huge changes, most importantly, everyone’s mindset had shifted. Now, no one cared about peaceful coexistence; it was more about the survival of the fittest, dominating alone.

If it continued like this, the flames of war would spread among the lands, just as Qingyun City’s King Li Jiachen said, after the conference in Wentian City ends, he planned to head north to take over Kongming and North City Province.

In the hall, no one managed to persuade anyone and they parted ways unhappily, everyone knew, in this world, only fists could solve problems now, no one maintained so-called fairness and justice.

There used to be a City Alliance, but, it was Gu Beifeng and Du Tianxing who were the first to break it.

At dinner time, everyone in the restaurant still rarely talked, all maintaining wary and hostile attitudes towards each other.

Yang Xiao held his food tray, walked to a corner of the restaurant, and quietly ate alone.

Someone came over and sat opposite Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao looked up, it was actually Li Jiachen.

Li Jiachen arrogantly glanced at Yang Xiao and said indifferently:

”Running away won’t solve the problem, I’ll give you a chance, if you’re willing to join my alliance, together we can conquer the world, I will provide you with resources, help you quickly advance to Enhanced Gene Advanced, how about it?”

Yang Xiao thought, I’m just having a meal, what am I running from?

”Are you done talking? Please leave now, don’t spoil my mood while eating.”

Saying this, Yang Xiao picked up a piece of unidentified meat, put it into his mouth, and chewed vigorously, not even bothering to glance at Li Jiachen.

Li Jiachen, infuriated by Yang Xiao’s indifference, said harshly:

”Yang Xiao, you will regret this, you’re being disgraceful. I’ll see how much longer you can be so arrogant,”

”Get lost!”

Yang Xiao said indifferently, picked up a bowl of soup, took a sip, and didn’t even bother to look at Li Jiachen again.
